{VIDEO} Superfood Hot Chocolate

This Superfood Hot Chocolate is packed-full of immune-boosting, antioxidant-filled ingredients that make for one heck of cup of hot cocoa! From coconut, to turmeric and the sweetness of raw honey, this is a hot chocolate recipe you can feel good about drinking.

Everybody and their mom knows that I’m sick right now. I am SUCH a baby when I’m not feeling well. There’s a lot of things I’m good at, but being sick is not one of them.

*blows nose dramatically*

The truth is, I have a cold and despite what I’ve been telling people, it isn’t nearly as bad as the plague. Though, anything that keeps me below 100% feels like the plague to me.

I just completely give up. I lay in bed all day, wallowing in my sorrows, while simultaneously drowning in the black hole that is YouTube. And I don’t feel bad about it.

But this time I vowed it would be different (I also vowed I wouldn’t catch C’s cold but clearly that didn’t work out…). I promised to not drag everybody down in my sickness and be proactive about the healing process…

with hot chocolate.

Yes, you read that correctly. I channelled all of my sickness into an epic hot chocolate recipe packed full of superfoods that would make me feel awesome instead of shi-tayyyyy.

And this is the final result…

Yes, my friends, this is me in all of my sickness glory attempting not to sneeze in my food. Admittedly, I rallied and did my hair and makeup, but if you follow me on snapchat then you witnessed the brutal reality that is me when I’m sick.

It’s not cute.

I was proud of myself for getting it together enough to film the recipe for you guys (and subsequently drinking 4 cups of it), but the second we were done filming I dove head first into bed. C was the ultimate and set up my death bed like it was a castle full of puppies, Friends re-runs and even it’s own make-shift tissue disposal! He’s a keeper.

Clearly, there are advantages to being a baby when you’re sick.

But I really do think this Hot Chocolate really helped. I was back to my normal self in less than 48 hours, which for me is unheard of. It’s possible that my sickness persists because I kind of like being babied (never repeat this) but I’m convinced all of the superfood goodness really worked it’s magic.

All’s to say, ditch the tea and go for this immune-boosting superfood hot chocolate instead. If it can cure this sick baby, then it can basically cure the world. Drink up!

If only I could look that good when I have a cold! Great idea to drink hot chocolate instead of tea, you get some extra endorphins, so you’re not only boosting your immunity, but also your mood.Kristina recently posted…Zwitserse preischotel (Swiss leek dish)

I’m glad you’re feeling better Davida! I am super into this recipe. Most nights of the week I drink turmeric milk which has all the same ingredients minus the cocoa. But #duh of course adding chocolate would make it that much better!

Totally making this recipe this weekend! If I’m out and find maca powder – awesome – and if not, I already have all the ingredients. YUM! I feel a little off this week, so I’m hoping to find some ways to make sure I’m not getting sick!

Can’t wait to try it, I have everything except the macha….. have been meaning to find it but NOW it’s a MUST thanks for sharing and feel better. Gotta try it when I’m sick as well…. Who likes being sick atleast now we have something comforting to look forward to.

Just tried this recipe and it was great. Although it was a bit gritty, drinking it makes me feel nice and warm. I wish I could fit this into a regular diet as I am trying to find a way to regularly eat more cacao. Unfortunately, the honey and coconut oil in this recipe makes it pretty hard.

I just want to hug you! I have always thought that I was the worlds biggest baby about being sick so its great to know that I’m not alone! My baby and I have been passing a cold back and forth all month and I have found that it super sucks to have to chase a baby all over the house while you just want to be a baby yourself, so I have been downing immune boosters like crazy to hopefully break this cycle. And I have to say that this recipe is the tastiest one by far! Thanks for saving my sanity!
